Fima's solo recital tour comes to Carnegie Hall

Currently on tour presenting a unique and varied program, Fima concludes his current solo recital tour with a performance at Carnegie Hall on Monday, April 5. Reviewing Fima's Shriver Hall recital in the Baltimore Sun, Tim Smith wrote "There are some mighty fine pianists on the scene, capable not only of delivering technical fireworks, but of producing experiences rich in musical feeling. One of the best in this regard is Yefim Bronfman." The Minnesota Star tribune wrote that the "audience was regaled with two hours of masterful pianism" at Fima's performance in St. Paul.

Fima performs Brahms Piano Concerto No. 1 with the Philharmonia Orchestra

Fima will join the Philharmonia Orchestra and conductor Fabio Luisi this weekend in Cardiff (March 12) and London (March 13) for performances of Brahms Piano Concerto No 1. When Fima performed the Brahms 1 with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra last month, the Chicago Classical Review raved that he "displayed the sonorous heft and lyric delicacy, explosive in the unbridled moments of the first movement, searching and introspective in the Adagio and playing with grim defiance in the Rondo finale." After these performances, Fima will return to the US and will continue his solo recital tour in at the Savannah Music Festival and will conclude the tour on April 12 at Carnegie Hall.
